Thanks for the suggestion. I am using standard pppd.

The following two lines added to /etc/resolv.conf are not longer needed:
  retrans:20
  retry:4
The problem resurfaced for all http connections soon after. Not sure
whether these lines really helped.

There was a dns problem. I solved it using a caching nameserver.

Browsing, in general, and access to the web interface to qmail work
fine now.
